I have a little 24” Damascus 28 gauge DHE with a research letter that says “supply Annie Oakley style case.”
I have no idea what that style would be as it didn’t have a case when it came to me.

That sounds like a sweet little Parker!

Might you have any ideas about why the straps tore off?

I think Dean is on to something. 123 brass shells. loaded x 2.1oz is 16 1/4lbs. Then the gun. It was too much for the old cow.

I believe I may have some very nice leather handles.

I restored the case for the first Invincible in 1995. It came from the Utica (NY) luggage company and was a traditional, best-quality oak and leather trunk case, equal then as now to the finest British maker's cases. There was no label in it per previous commenter's posts.

Kevin McCormack also restored my Parker #38 case. I overextended the lid and now Kevin has to re-repair it. I think Dave Suponski has pictures of the original restoration.

Well let’s see.... roughly 10 lbs. of ammo plus another 8-10 lbs. of shotgun would likely tax any leather strap.
